Important to Note Total ask of projects invited to submit full proposals will exceed the available funds by $10-$15 million. OPC is coordinating with state agencies whose grant programs are very similar – E.g. A project that received funding from DFW has also been invited to submit a full proposal to OPC (for different component) 10
